Hey everyone! I am proud to introduce to you all Ofermod, the newest writer to the LOTRO Weekly team! He will be writing for us every Monday and giving us some new insight into lore-related topics. When he contacted me about writing for us, he gave us this information about himself:

I’ve played LotRO off and on ever since it came out (moreso now that it’s FTP and it just soaks up my time rather than my funds), and I’ve got some writing experience from the LotR journal Silver Leaves. Also, I happen to have earned the title of Loremaster by out-loring everyone else at the last “A Long Expected Party” convention (despite having a Loremaster as an alt rather than a main in LotRO).

There have been a lot of other UI changes with Update 2 so far, mostly stemming from the Character Panel change and the LI revamp that is in the works. Here are some screenshots of the changes I’ve noticed so far.

Two new horses have appeared in the store on Bullroarer. One is a new Lossoth Steed and the other is the Warden’s Steed. No word as of yet if they will be store exclusives or will be available for reputation.

Thanks to Griffy for being my model and getting the horses so I could photograph them!
